If Yesterday Could Disappear

Chapter 08

I parked my car before getting out and making my way to his Office.

Nakatanggap ako ng tawag kaninang umaga galing sa pinsan ko at mukhang may magandang balita itong sasabihin sa akin, kung kaya't kaagad akong dumalo sa bahay nito para makumpirma ito.

The security guards scattered around his house, and as I walk towards his Office I could see them looking at me with respect on their eyes. Respect for their former leader,

Ng makarating ako sa silid nito ay hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pa at binuksan ito. It revealed my cousin sitting on his chair with a blank expression while staring at the papers infront of him. "Hindi ka ba tinuruang kumatok sa pinto?"

I rolled my eyes before sitting down infront of him. "Spill it, i don't have all day"

I didn't get a good sleep yesterday night because of my nightmares. Hindi narin sana ako pupunta pa dito, but I feel like i should. This is something confidential that only us should know— and my apartment Isn't a safe place too. Malay ko kung may makarinig samin,

"I went to your mom's room yesterday and found this uncut clipped of the video from WheelsWorld. It was the company who was tasked and paid to record the race 14 years ago." Linabas nito ang naka plastic na video tape sa kaniyang cabinet. It was labelled the date of that race with the company's name.

"My Mom bought it?" I scoffed in disbelief. It's really ridiculous and my mind can't accept it.

"I'm pretty sure someone's framing her." I guess so too. Why would she buy it? To watch her husband die over and over again?

"Do you want to watch to it?" Hinawakan nito ang tape sa harapan namin at nag-aalala akong tiningnan. He knows i can't watch it— unless i want to have nightmares again for a month. Hell nah,

"What happened on the video?"

"It seems that before the game even starts, his motor was already leaking from gas. Oddly, the floor got slippery in a span of 100 laps that led them to the accident. And to answer your question, no— your father's death wasn't an accident." His words starts to awaken something in me.

Furios, mad, angry— what more? This is making me enraged. I knew it, someone is behind this and that person got away from this case for 14 years! Nagdusa kami ng ina ko habang tinatawanan kami ng taong may gawa nito sa dilim.

I spent most of my life on rehab, on my room getting homeschooled, on my fucking yard all alone with my insanity. While that person is free and alive!

"I already got a suspect and I've told my mens to find him." Muling napabaling ang atensyon ko sa pinsan ko at tinanguan ito. I didn't bother questioning him and stood up from my chair before facing the bookshelf on the right.

Nandoon ang mga litrato namin noong bata kami, noong panahong nabubuhay pa ang aking ama. Malawak ang ngiti ko at tuwang tuwang nakikipaglaro sa pinsan kong iyakin. He was a crybaby, yet look at him handling the Grei Empire like a pro.

"How are you?" Tanong nito na kumuha sa aking atensyon. Nagkibit balikat lamang ako dito bago magsalita,

"He's making my nightmares worse," i confessed.

His forest like eyes that stared at me as if he knows my pain. Those simple things he does that i didn't expect at all, and his annoying ass that made me hate him. It's been 2 weeks since that night and avoiding him made my nightmare's lessen. Kahapon nalang muli ako nakaranas nun, maybe because those 2 weeks was all about work.
